The Walking Dead

[Pinky]

Wouldn't it be cool if this had been an old chicken house? Just sayin.



Sorry this isn't more clear, but it's still a pretty wicked shot with that contrast. I wasn't the biggest Carol fan at the start, but she has really grown on me. I wanna be Carol when I grow up.



Rick never catches a break. He's like the Jack Bauer of zombieland- when does he eat and pee? Does the guy even sleep?



This scene is incredibly inspiring, woman-wise. Not only surviving, but taking control and strategizing when no one else can. This is like prepper poster porn right here.



THIS is why you camouflage your tanks during a zombie apocalypse. Why do people never think of this? Not an easily replaceable resource there. It just screams "We've got a tank and you don't, nyah nyah."



Yes, I *am* leading up to something.



BOOM.



And behold, a new word was born. I noticed it as I read back through the Walking Dead live tweet later. This capture clicks back to source on twitter.



So I got all excited and ran off to see if anyone had ever used this hashtag before and was very disappointed in #TheKelly for not hashtagging. As you can see, it was a perfect opportunity to have been the creator of such an awesome hashtag.





So guess who is creating the hashtag? That's right, ME. Hang on while I go do that.

[Pinky]

I know, I took my sweet time, sorry about that. Long day. And I have sort of like skylight windows up high in my house, so as the day wore on, my phone pix got grainier from all the extra light bouncing off the walls. So this little wrap up is just a big bunch of feels, not going to say much.

When Carol saw the crossbow and slung it over her shoulder. ~feels~



Ode to Daryl hair here, in case some of you are still trying to get that look just right.



When Carol walked across the 'sanctuary', with all the 'markers' symbolizing the lost, all covered in blood as if she'd risen from among the dead and conquered that which kills the innocent. ~goosebumps~ ~major feels~ ~moar goosebumps~ Don't tell me that symbolism didn't **rock**.



It was like a second chance to say goodbye to Tasha. Ok, evil twisted psychotic not-Tasha.



Just. This.



Flip the script. Who could not like Eugene here.



~Feeeeeels~



*snif* ~burrito feels~



Have they EVER ended an episode as feely as this? ~moar feels~



In case you don't want to let this go, there's a show on tonight to keep talking about it. Just click for more info.



My jam while I worked.

[Pinky]

Found out I'm getting a little rusty keeping up with live tweets, but holy cow that was a crazy episode! I'm talking about 10/19/14 and *boom* it begins. This second cap clicks to source.



Since I'm pulling one of my last year stunts and doing this really late you know at this point I'm winging it through my old feeds, but right off the bat, yes, Nelson is one of my accounts and thank goodness, because the live tweet was flying so fast it was all I could do to read maybe a third of it. I was trying to keep up with #TheWalkingDead, #TWD, #TWDFam & several others, skipping around, wow there had to be 100,000 tweets, my eyeballs were spinning. and I'm a speed reader. So I apologize for my own slack on pix but y'all were awesome. I don't know if anyone else on the planet does a Walking Dead twitter review, but you guys rock it and I think someone needs to be collecting the live tweets into a book or something.





This one clicks to source, congrats to Brandon on 105 retweets.







This one clicks to source. Nelson is in awe of Daryl's Arms having an account.







You know the drill, I get 10 cap pix per panel, so keep scrolling.

[Pinky]

Twitter really doesn't like it when you try to scroll back through a thousand tweets. I need to remember that for the next review. Ok, where were we? The gang is all back together, and despite the relieved love fest, they quickly disintegrate into hunger and exhaustion, emotional issues, and being gullible again. I can scream at my TV till I'm blue, they never listen.

Lame attempt at commentary on modern culture fandom, seriously wonder if the two fandoms ever cross paths because I don't think either realizes just how much they have in common. But I digress.





Before we go on, does anybody besides me think Rocky Horror when they see that little church?















Word.



I was smart this time and grabbed all my snips ahead, so now all I've got to do is load them. So come back in a few and keep scrolling.

[Pinky]

This is where I got lost between all the feeds going crazy, so, as with all my twitter reviews, if you are worried about spoilers, no worries, I dropped the ball and it's up to you to go watch the show and keep up. Just trust the flow of the feeds.



This is where we all wander happily off to go look through the fridge for chocolate pudding, right?



I want @MJCaan on my team when we get zombies. He actually had me last year during a Rudolf tweet.



I hafta admit I'm waaaaay lost at this point, might even have a snip in the last panel that doesn't even go yet, so the rest of this is me swimming happily in fan feeds because I actually stopped looking up at the TV and was glued to hyper toggling and speed scrolling on my laptop. I haven't even rewatched yet, and your tweets are still cracking me up. I do remember getting this one and fussing at them. I think Carol knows stuff can still come back to bite when they all settle down again.



I would say spoiler alert but I was so busy reading tweets I forgot to retweet, so now we 'plunge' into a whole new scene. Get it? *Plunge*.





TScott cracks me up.



I mean, big fandom hug right here, right? Best zombie apocalypse ever.



D*y*i*n*g.



THIS. I actually tried to look up at the TV because of this tweet and Scott really did flick a spider just then, and I was so torn between looking for the spider and looking up to see if Rick really died. First time in my life I didn't go all crazy making sure a spider wasn't on me.



Hang on, there's a little more.

[Pinky]

Ok, I don't wanna say it's back luck, but when a soulless ginger is the one giving the thanks in a church, well... (I come from a whole family of redheads. I love redheads. ) But you know that's just not good, right?



My head snapped around at that last one, lol.



Zoom, suddenly!





Whatever happens in the future with Beth, it's gotta be huge by now, the fandom is about to pop with tension.



And of course we go skipskipskip because I was busy picking up my dropped jaw, so here is a genuine spoiler alert, do NOT read past here if you haven't seen this episode yet and don't want it ruined.



I do have to admit this scene didn't bother me at all (I know, so weird), but I loved watching the rest of you go totally divergent into shock and hilarity.







This is so Crow and Servo.



Dang, ran outa room. But we're nearly done. Hang on.

[Pinky]

I'm awful.



My fave ending tweet.



All set for the new episode tonight?

[Pinky]

Happy Halloween tomorrow! This starts The Walking Dead live tweet review for 10/26/14 episode s5e3.



This next one clicks to source. If you're new to this review thread and not a twitter user, the legendary live tweets you hear some people grumbling about usually involve actual cast and crew tweeting and even interacting with us peons while we watch a live broadcast, and I love watching synchronized fan reactions across hundreds and even thousands of miles and sometimes across several time zones. Fans are awesome.



Most of my snips that include pix will click to source in this week's review. I was too lazy to catch those last week.





Will this guy last all season? We saw Daryl and Carl almost get raped by spoilers last time there were bad guys loose in the woods, this guy makes those guys look pretty sane now.



I swear, this makes the show even better.











I'm allowed 10 pix per panel, so keep scrolling.

[Pinky]

This guy has a point. Click to get to his tweet which has a link to the article.



My reply to this is have you ever seen birds and chickens during a big grasshopper or cricket year? My chickens also go wild for all kinds of bugs that start out as grubs. It's so exciting when it starts, but it doesn't take long to get sick of them because there is just too many. So- vultures, and let's throw in other scavengers like possums and coyotes and what the heck, let's even throw in the feral pets that manage to survive going wild. There just aren't enough scavengers out there to 'clean up' 300 million zombies across the United States. So, no, vultures won't make quick work of it. Takes a group of them all day to pick a little bit out of a sheep. Just sayin. If birds could clean up that much mess, we just wouldn't have bug and vermin probs.

Moving on.

I'm still on the fence about this making a difference if they're all infected anyway.





Because #stayingpositive, lol.



I did a double take on this showing up in my list feed, thought it was a joke, like a zombie food porn tweet or something.







Seriously, that opening scene was rocking the twitters. It could have gone on the whole episode and we'd have been happy campers.







Yeah, keep scrolling.

[Pinky]

It was really hard dragging away from the Bob feast to the Tyreese conundrum, was like being at a rockin party when allasudden something goes wrong and everyone's just standing around in a funk.



That gave us a little time to reorient ourselves.





Did you see all the cute little emojis in the 'hell no' tweet up there in that last snip? Love all those torture tools.

I really do need a fleet of laptops.



I'm real bad to space out when I overload, so I probably missed a whole load of mental stampede when the ambush hit, and then the way they led up to the scuffle, I was so sure this would happen.



Did anyone else see this commercial interruption as playing on all the blood spattering in this show? Anyone?



As usual, I don't reveal prime spoilers (because I generally miss them), so it's up to you to go watch the show and see what in the world actually happened here.









Almost done, keep going.

[Pinky]

Ok, here we need a little interjection. I agree with Scott Troutman, we've already been jerked through so many O-M-G shows, what's coming next week??? And I'm surprised that a professional slime like @MrShuggoth wasn't live tweeting with us. What gives???



So trew. Personally, I think Daryl's been getting a crush on Rick for awhile now.



By this time all kinds of tweets are popping up randomly, like a nice backwash on the emotional moonshine of the show we're wrapping up.



This one is truly cool, way too big to snip, you HAVE to click it and go see it right now.



Too droll.



I can't help it, I'm a closet fight club shipper.



What do Seinfeld and The Walking Dead have in common?





Yeah, that's it. I'm kinda hoping they run into some really dark voodoo next.

[Pinky]

As near as I can tell, this is the first mention of a Bethisode on twitter. Click to see original.



The Bethisode happened on 11-2-14 and the hashtag #Bethisode has had a steady feed around the clock ever since. I've mentioned in past reviews that I actually like Beth, and some of my most retweeted screen grabs during live tweets included Beth. Nevertheless, she is an optimal character for twitter caricaturing and has spawned an almost silly putty style love/hate fan following, which lends to some great tweet material.

Little bit of warmup, like pregame, psyching up for some ~nerves~.



This one clicks to fond memories.



I agree with this next one, let's see someone else get pregnant and maybe have an immune baby, that could get pretty political.



Impressive. Click to see it better.



O_O I did not know Pizza Hut was picking faves!



I'm still messed up... been a strange week.



That tiny little knife cracks me up. *click it*



Most of my pic grabs click out, so check them out and hit the follow button.

[Pinky]

Watching Walking Dead with the Ghost Hunters BOOYA.



I kinda feel like Rick and Tom from Falling Skies are long lost brothers.



Ok, gotta stop cross referencing networks and get this ball rolling.



One more, I can't help it. Does this ep title remind anyone of season 3 on Lexx and all the 'town' eps? No? Ok, as you were. (Gametown, Boomtown, K-town, Girltown... just sayin.)



Remember when we were saying that about Rick?



This is cute, you really need to click it.





Might see @Passiko in this ep, lol.





Wow, no kidding. O_O

[Pinky]

City folk getting eclectic...



Beth luv.





I saw a LOT of these kinds of tweets, y'all panicking about losing your AMC channel. Us DISH users went through the same politics a couple of years ago. Everyone was saying switch, we didn't, wound up getting a perk for being loyal customers.



Now us DISH users see this a lot, lol.

Random fan tweet I thought was cool while we get over the channel scare on top of that slap, hufda.





Kudos for the Star Trek reference.





Egads, it's happening again... o_o

[Pinky]

About this time, as per my usual, I started getting lost because I was watching the feeds more than I was the TV. I'm realizing as I'm trying to figure this out that I have apparently never time synched my Nelson account. We're about to free float through some of that weird Beth luv, lol.



The last tweet in this next one, lol



Experience addiction is a thing I wrote about --> The Walking Dead- What would you do to survive? My question now is- Who are the ~real~ hardcore fans, the Beth lovers or the bored Beth haters? Y'all realize she was pivotal for one of the biggest episodes ever, right? Twitter has not stopped talking about her, and John Barrowman revered her on The Talking Dead. But the hatefest was hilariously creative and witty and ~fun~, you guys really kept me on my toes.



Ok, where were we?



Pretty sure this one was tweeted earlier and I caught it tumbling in my direction and ducked as it went by being retweeted nearly a thousand times, give this guy a hand.



Loved this.



I know, right??? It was like all our minds were synched like the Borg for a few seconds there.



This next one third down actually screeched my mind to a halt. I froze for a couple seconds. I had ~not~ thought of that.



My head was spinning by this point, like whaaaa... Can you imagine if they slung a Daryl episode by us this fast? Pandemonium. And yet it still felt so slow, right? They ripped us out of our usual roller coaster rhythm and did experiments on us.



You kinda almost expect her to glow with an ethereal light when she does this.



Can't believe I'm saying this, but I've still got two more panels to load, yowza.
